I setup a Windows 2008 Enterprise server on DL360 G5 in February. I have experienced 5 times when I login it just stay at the "welcome" logo, with a continuosly circling circle on its left, and it remains like this for ever. Every time when I met with this problem, I have to force shutdown the server. Is there any idea how I can go about to resolve this problem?

We have a SBS 2003 with 10 users. The owner of the company wants to be able to access the network from his home. Not just the network but also his work pc desktop, which has unique programs he needs to be able to run. I have looked at remote desktop and was able to log in but in only gives you a desktop from the server i'm guessing. How do i configure everything so when he logs in from home he gets access to his work computer, and does the work computer need to be powered on, or can it be in sleep mode?

How does authentication work?
by Guest The_Nite_Owl- 10 replies
- 627 views
When a device attempts to connect to a shared drive on another server it is the remote server that requests the credentials to authenticate the connection right? What determines how long the connection can remain before the remote server requests authentication again? We have a Win 2003 server that maps drives to SAN sharespace through another Win 2003 server. The drive mappings are made using a different set of credentials than the current logged on account. Win 2003 server after SP1 no longer caches credentials for connections using a different account than the logon account. When we boot our server the mappings are established but the drives do not…

Roaming Profiles and PST files
by Guest Adam- 10 replies
- 416 views
I have my users set up with Folder Redirects for My Docs and Desktop as well as Roaming Profiles. I have noticed that the users archive PST files (Outlook 2003) do not follow them. They remain stored locally to the users profile and not on the network. Is there a way to correct this or should I manually move these PSTs to a network share? I know you cannot sync a PST file but I though it should follow the profile roam settings. Thank you, Adam

Hello I have a windows server 2003 basic edition. On this server I installed an apache web server, and I run a web application. The language scripting used is php. The web application is based on a few pages that call executable applications written in c#. This c# applications make operations on the windows media services, and doing stuff like create/remove publishing points (for those who know what this mean). The web pages, a few of them, are written in a way that they MUST get the response from the c# application, regarding the success or failure of the operation they had to make. To call an executable exe file from the php language script, you use a…

Periodically, I have to install software and most of the sites have pcs in the server room instead of under the desks. How do I map to the external hard drive I have attached to the server so I can install the software on each pc? The way I map to the c drive of the server is by entering the ip address and then \c$ but I need to be able to map to the external drive letter as well. Please advise. Thank you.

VSS not working correctly on 2003?
by Guest Jerome- 10 replies
- 668 views
Hi, I've enabled the Volume Shadow Copy Service on my Windows 2003 servers and I've scheduled them to make copies every day but they don't do them!? If I click on previous versions I only get the first day I've installed the VSS as an option to restore from (and yes, this file has changed a few times over the last days!). On the other hand if I MANUALLY click 'create now' in the Shadow Copies panel on my server then it makes a shadow copy and this is also reflected in the 'previous versions' on my client PCs. Any ideas why it's not making the copies according to the schedule?? Any help is appreciated, thanks a lot! Jerome

This is driving me nuts and I have not been able to find any answers on any user group. This is a basic batch file script that I am deploying through group policy in the startup script to copy templates from the server to the local machine.

DNS service causing DC to hang on reboot
by Guest Saral6978- 10 replies
- 488 views
*posting here and in the DNS forum* DNS is causing my Domain Controller (Win2003R2) to hang on reboot. It freezes on "Preparing Network Connections". To determine it was DNS, I booted into Safe mode and disabled DHCP and DNS. The server booted normally and I was able to log in. I then enabled DHCP and rebooted server and the server booted normally. After I logged in, I then changed the DNS service to manual and started the service and it started successfully and my forward and reverse zones came up (active directory integrated) and all AD errors were cleared on this particular server (I have a total of 4 DCs among 3 different sites). Problems …

Alternatives to Net Use
by Guest Smithers- 10 replies
- 570 views
I'm rewriting a small utility app that, amongst other tasks, copies files from the local machine to servers on the local network. The existing implementation executes a batch file that executes the "net use" command to map a drive to each destination server/share. The program then tests via "if (File.Exists())" to ensure that the mappings were successful. I'd like to find a better way to copy the files out to the servers... and eliminate the batch file and "net use" altogether if possible. Is there an easier way to map drive letters than via batch file and net use? Is there a way to copy files without mapping a drive letter at all? I'm developing thi…

Revert roaming profiles to local profiles?
by Guest jim- 10 replies
- 619 views
On Windows Small Business Server 2003, how would you go about reverting roaming profiles to local profiles for the users? It is a home business with only 1 PC and 2 laptops attached to a 2003 Windows Small Business Server. I think it's overkill, but its what they have presently. They are frustrated at the long shut down and boot up times, so I thought that moving their roaming profiles back to the desktops (especially since there is no "roaming" taking place) would help them with this issue. Does anyone know how this is done? jim

I have a Dell PowerEdge 1850 with a 67GB RAID-1 set runing Windows Server 2003 The C drive is 12GB and I want to extend it to 20GB I can blow away the D and E drives and recreate them later What is the best way to extend the C-drive. I do not want to rebuild this server as it has apps that I did not install or configure and I don't wanna have to figure them out. I have Partition Magic 8 I have Ghost 7.5 There is also NTBACKUP with ASR I thought I read that ASR doesnt restore Applications, just OS. This can't be true. If I use ghost I will have to leave the domain, ghost and then rejoin the domain (I've found in the past that ghosted when on the do…

Spontaneous Reboot
by Guest hpoincare- 10 replies
- 888 views
Late model IBM Server Windows2003 Server standard SP2, almost all updates except for the ones dating back a week (or two). The server will go through the POST and then display Windows Splash Screen, then show progress messages; “Starting Windows”, “Applying Security”, “Applying Settings”.. – eventually showing the login (if lucky). But before login, the server will spontaneously shutdown/reboot. I was able to boot to safe mode just fine. No shutdowns/reboots at all in safe mode. The last error in the System event log before shutdown refers to the WSUS. Event ID 1010 “A process serving application pool Wsus Pool failed to respond to a ping” Next …
